Roy should have retired after the Ruiz fight, and even more-so nowQuote:

Contemplating ? :vd:
Pride can tax a man heavily and long lasting .Head up Roy...Walk away !
So true. :)Quote:

I wish Jones had retired after the Tarver KO, i think pride and ego got in the way of sound thinking. He looked at Hopkins who is older and still fighting well and he really believed he could do the same, the difference being Hopkins remained at 160lb for his entire career until recently when he has been chasing the big bucks. The point is Hopkins has never altered his body as much as Jones did in going up to fight Ruiz. Nobody has knocked out Hopkins either like Jones was against Tarver, he should retire. Losing to Green in 2 mins is unbelievable, Jones looked well out of place against Green who simply looked a beast against him. To hear that Hopkins still wants Roy Jones jr is a sad reflection on the sport of boxing when we have a super year coming up in 2010.

At worst tough bouts against guys like Hanshaw should have told him...
Great career, great moments to remember but time to go
RJJ should have left after the Ruiz fight OR after the first Tarver fight just because #1 Roy won that fight and #2 he had nothing left to prove.
I say Roy needs 1 fight maybe even an "exhibition" bout (gloryfied sparring) in Pensacola and then hang up the gloves...it would be great if one of his sons was ready to turn pro and fought on the same card. You can't go out on a loss after a career like Roy has had.
But yes he does need to retire
I can only imagine how difficult it is for a fighter of that caliber to let go of what they do best. As a fan it is very difficult to let Roy go. He was such a special talent. So I can only imagine the struggle it must be to finally walk away forever. But this is not golf and it is vital that fighters go when it is time and delay in no lengthy kind of way. Roy's departure is long overdue and I hope he remains healthy in retirement.
Well if I was him I'd look at a couple old timers that stayed in the game too long and if I was a young boxer I'd use RJJ as an example to stop when you're at the top...although in some cases it cause people to question you Mr. Lennox Lewis for example, although he retired with dignity he also ran away from a very dangerous rematch, smart yet cowardly
:peeker:
but of course at this point in time Roy should just retire MAYBE have a homecoming fight and go out on a win but he should retire
Some guys just love the limelight, and i guess Roy is one of them. These are the guys who seem to find it hardest to quit.
you are a prick my friend! maybe Lennox just relised he couldnt fight like he used to and didnt want to loose to a fighter who he would of smashed with ease in his prime!Quote:

i actually thought Vitali was coming on and turning the tide, and Lennox although a very good fighter in his prime, he was also smashed with ease in his prime by lesser smaller opponentsQuote:

Yeah Its Time To Hang His Gloves
Jones should retire, but if he wants to try one last time against Hopkins then so be it.
Yeah, the fact that he relied on reflexes more than sound technique exacerbated the damage done by the weight changes. Hopkins' style has translated into an older fighters career much more effectively.Quote:

I hope he retires now. I really enjoyed his time as a commentator on HBO. I'd be nice if he kept the ability to do that.
Guess Roy losing to Green means there will be no Hopkins rematch, after all this is boxing and that may still be his last big money fight.
Hope the commission refuses to oblige.
